Get a shift on!

Also got a Scat shifter which came with the trekker so thought i might as well fit it as thats what it was like in the feature and I had never had a car with one in.

Fitted a breeze and looks the part and also makes for a really nice solid gear change, well pleased!

Seat Belts

Go really fed up with my harnesses so have replaced them for proper three point ones. The posts should be a lot higher for the shoulder mount but they were cut off by the previous owner to improve the look when the roof is down.

New Exhaust

Been looking for a long time to try to find a good exhaust for the trekker, that gave good ground clearance as well as looking the part and also actually improving performance,

Finally found this one and doesn’t it look the part!


Bought it from Karl @ Autocraft – http://www.autocrafteng.co.uk, Best investment I have made so far as now its a case of fit and forget

New Shoes

The car came with 2 sets of Porsche Cookie cutters, and I LOVE them as they are one of my favourite wheels, but I have always had a desire for Fuchs, so I finally have managed to get myself a set, copies but I reckon pretty good ones!

The New Engine

Nothing wrong with what was in the car when I got it, but I had always kept the motor from the sale of my bus as I wanted it for the Trekker, I knew it would be a whole heap of fun!!
